Phoebe : Andy : Polly
6 : 2 : 1

9 parts = £270
1 part = £270 ÷ 9 = £30

Polly = 1 part =
£30
Andy = 2 parts =
£30 x 2 = £60
Phoebe = 6 parts = £30 x 6 = £180

Answer: Polly = £30 , Andy = £60 , Phoebe = £180

Step-by-step explanation:

Polly = x
Andy = 2x
Phoebe = 3(2x) = 6x

x + 2x + 6x = £270
9x = £270
x = £30

Polly = x = £30
Andy = 2x = £60
Phoebe = 6x = £180
